Surely it should be the Other Way...? Not only because there is already one show claiming to be The Only Way... and also to sort of point out it's Oop North rather than Dan Sarf!

Although given the audience they get, I doubt proper grammar is of any real concern.

It's not up north, it's in the midlands?

Sounds like geography isn't a massive concern for you.

I'm not sure how real it is. The domain name theonlywayisbirmingham.co.uk is owned by South Birmingham College. I'm guessing it's probably just a viral marketing stunt.

Jesus, you pedant... it's further north than Essex though, isn't it? Or is Birmingham now down in the South Shields?



It's further north than Essex last I checked, Mr Rand McNally. Jog on with your textbook, I'm sure someone somewhere hasn't parked exactly in the lines in some car park space. Some other pointless argument surely awaits you. I'd argue that you used a question as a statement incorrectly but got your point so can't be arsed.

I don't understand your South Shields comment. South Shields is northern, next to Newcastle?!


But it isn't "up north". It's clearly the Midlands It is obviously further north of Essex. Well done. *claps hands*
There's the north, the south and the midlands.
The question mark was actually the ironic questioning way i asked it in my head?! Oh, look, there it is again. You can't get the tone on here. I just found it funny you made a joke about how the stars of "The only way is Birmingham" are probably thick and ignorant which is probably true but when you said it you made an ignorant comment referring to Birmingham as the north.

I find it funny you find this argument pointless, and don't tell me it's all relative because there are plenty of recognised Northern cities: Newcastle, Leeds, Sheffield, Liverpool, Manchester.

Birmingham is not one of these, it's a midlands city. Also you're "upp norrth" expression made no sense either because it's not as if people have northern accents in Birmingham. They have a specific Midlands accent.

lol someone said above that the domain is owned by a college, so is this just a "student project" trying to gain some exposure?

Let's just hope that no ITV executives are reading this thread.
